Cole Reschny's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "He’s not the biggest prospect but he’s sturdy/strong and very hard to check. Reschny explodes up ice with the puck on his stick and pressures as F1 on the forecheck when opponents are attempting to break out plays."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "He’s highly skilled but also highly competitive and has driven both play and creation as a slightly smaller but athletic and involved center in the WHL. He’s got a motor but he’s also a natural playmaker, including when under pressure and with limited time and space."

Craig Button - TSN - March 25th: "When I watched Cole as a 16-year-old perform so admirably, he’s not going to wow you but you watch the game and he’s in the middle of every important play."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Defensively, Reschny is consistently engaged in his defensive zone assignments and is more effective at winning possession and creating breakouts than one might think a player of his stature would be due to strong physical battle habits, quick and precise small-area puckhandling, and a strong awareness of where his wingers are at in any given situation."

Kareem Elshafey - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Reschny is undersized but he’s responsible defensively and has a good chance of sticking at center. His primary strengths are how he attacks the front of the net, with and without the puck, and his efficient playmaking ability."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "I love so much of what he brings from a playmaking and puckhandling perspective. If he can get his feet going a bit more and gain some speed and power, he could be worth drafting much earlier than the end of the first day. There's just a lot of "if" with Reschny."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "He’s been in and out of this space and his game is like a few others in this class in that he gets after it, but also has a finesse to his game to make others around him better."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "What Reschny might lack in size (5-10, 183), he more than makes up for with his skating, hockey IQ and relentlessness."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "Reschny has good hockey IQ and instincts on both sides of the puck, and can play on the power play or penalty kill. He's not overly physical but understands how to take away time and space from opponents with good positioning."
